by cofty in

now the harvest is underway up north i can get out for a walk with the metal detector in the evening.

i am lucky to live on a historic rural estate and i have permission from the landowner to detect.. this is a coin that popped up last night.

it was only about 2 inches deep and had been tumbling around in the plough soil for the last 750 years.. it is a silver penny of king henry iii.

A Hard Lesson Learned

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

do you remember that my dad passed away last year and i was going back to the witnesses after 26 years?

i got reinstated after going there for 9 months.

in the 5 months since then i felt the men in the congregation didn't want me there.

Tenacious

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation.

It's plain to see that Elders in the majority of congregations worldwide are starting to reveal the wolves they really are inside.

I would not worry about those maggots. In the end they'll get theirs one way or another.

Peace to you DL2.

People hate God?

by looter in

jw
friends

it is a pain that certain individuals pride themselves on hating god, who created everything.

like it's understandable that you choose to not believe in him because of your selfishness or thinking skills but to hate him is forcing it a bit.

i'm very thankful that those such as myself have the courage to believe in the lord.

Tenacious

If you believe in the Lord members on this forum should be respectful of your position.

The same applies for non-believers, we should be respectful of their position.

You may not get too many favorable responses to your OP due to your harsh words on those that disagree with your stance/beliefs.

Just a friendly opinion that's all.

A sucker is born every minute

by Sour Grapes in

i was an elder in the 1970's and i was not a big fan of the "stay alive until 75" dogma.

i was looked down upon by the heavy hitters on the body of elders and in time i changed my mind.

i knew of the failed prophecy of 1914 being the end of all times which was repeated for the year 1925...yet i came to believe well maybe this time they've got it right.. with every new watchtower, i combed over every word to find support for my change in my belief that the end was coming in fall of 1975. at the district assembly in 1975, everyone clung onto every word in the final talk.

Tenacious

It never ceases to amaze me and your thread title is a perfect fit for the majority of Witnesses.

There's this one idiot who maintains a blog specifically to defend the Witnesses.

His reasoning for the false 1975 prediction.

"No definite statement made".

I had to laugh at him.

September 15th Watchtower, controversy!

by Colinconfused in

just looking at some youtube videos and came across a john joseph may, a former jw who was involved in a controversy in ireland back in the late 70s i think.. it all started with a watchtower article september 15th ??.

does anyone know what the article was about?

and why so much controversy surrounding this.

Tenacious

Yes, the controversy originated with Ray Franz and those GB maggots quickly tried to do damage control by issuing those magazine studies. They knew they had screwed Ray over real well and they wanted to make sure NOBODY believed ANYTHING he had to say so as to not expose them for the lying ball sucking maggots that they are.

So how to avoid all of this? Prohibit members from speaking to Ray once he was excommunicated.

jwfacts or jwinterpretations?

by slimboyfat in

jw

jwfacts is a great website, but in view of the fact that "there are no facts, only interpretations", as nietzsche said, should the website be renamed jwinterpretations instead?

.

Tenacious

Actually the majority of information comes directly referenced from the Watchtower publications. So it's basically a Watchtower fact based website.
